We would like to say a massive thank you to this amazing lady, Janet, for her 19 years of service with Armac.

For 19 years Janet has looked after all of us here at Armac. From making sure the day ran smoothly - to making sure we all had a piece of cake or biscuit each to get us through even the hardest of days.
Not only are we losing a colleague today, but one of the biggest smiles and biggest, positive personality.

Janet, we cannot thank you enough for the hard work and dedication you have put into Armac and the team during your time here. You will be greatly missed today, tomorrow and for a VERY long time following 🤗.

We all wish you the very best on the adventures that await you.

Love,

Your Armac Family 💚

CHRISTMAS DONATIONS 🎄🎅🏻

We’ve had one busy elf the last two days donating all of the amazing things our staff, clients and general public have generously donated for local shelters! Our Registered Veterinary Nurse, Charley, gathered up the donations of newspaper, towels, blankets, toys, treats and food, and took them to our chosen places🥰.

Our team at Armac would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all that have donated. We are truly overwhelmed and appreciative of the amount we have managed to collect altogether, in hopes to raise Christmas spirit for animals at local shelters who are still waiting on their forever homes.

The shelters we chose for this year are:
🎄 Rossendale Responsible Animal Rescue
🎅🏻 Blue Cross
🎄 Happy Cats Hyndburn Rescue
🎅🏻 Rochdale Dog Rescue
We can’t begin to thank these shelters enough for the hard work and continued dedication they have to helping out animals.

We are hoping the Christmas donation box is something we can continue to do as a team, and also as a community, year after year. Each year we will be selecting 4 local shelters so that we can share the donations out as fairly as possible🥰.

Thank You,

Armac Team 💚

CHRISTMAS DONATIONS 🎄🎅🏻

Last year we introduced our donations box, and we were completely overwhelmed with how well we did in helping four different shelters to spread Christmas cheer amongst the animals waiting for their furrever homes.

This Christmas as a way of giving back we will be helping local shelters again by donating:
🎄 Food
🎅🏻 Treats
🎄 Toys
🎅🏻 Towels
🎄 Newspaper
We will be putting supplies in this box throughout the Christmas period, and we will disperse the amount equally between as many shelters as possible closer to Christmas Day.

If you would like to help spread the Christmas spirit throughout the shelters, we would be more than grateful for your donations also 💚.
We have a donation box in our reception area at The Rock in Bury, and also at our Fairfield and Bradshaw branches.

Every little helps and we can’t wait to update you on (hopefully) how well we do with this.

‼️ We are hoping to have all donations in by 15th December so that a member of our team can take them to the shelters.

🎇 FIREWORKS 🎆

Let's ease dog firework anxiety with these five top tips:

1️⃣ Toilet Time: Try to get your dog to go to the toilet before the fireworks start and keep them indoors during the displays.

2️⃣ Food & Water Access: For dogs that struggle to eat when
stressed, ensure they have access to food and water all night. If you know when the worst nights for fireworks will be, feed your dog late afternoon or early evening before the noise begins.

3️⃣ Secure Your Home: Make sure your home is secure by closing all doors and windows, as scared pets can sometimes bolt. Close curtains and blinds to minimise flashes.

4️⃣ Create Background Noise: Play moderately loud rhythmic
music with a good beat to help mask the sound of fireworks.
Alternatively, familiar sounds like the TV may also comfort your dog.

5️⃣ Prevent Trapping: Ensure your dog cannot get trapped, as this may worsen their phobias. Avoid shutting them in tight spaces.

🎇 FIREWORKS 🎆

Let's ease cat firework anxiety with these five top tips:

1️⃣ Create a Cosy Hideaway: Set up a snug space for your cat to retreat to during the fireworks.
A quiet corner with their favourite blanket or a covered cat bed can provide comfort and security.

2️⃣ Food & Water Access: Make sure your cat has access to
food and water throughout the night. If you know fireworks are coming, consider feeding them a little earlier to reduce stress during mealtime.

3️⃣ Secure Your Home: Close all windows and doors to prevent your frightened kitty from darting outside. Use curtains or blinds to block out flashes of light from the fireworks.

4️⃣ Play Soothing Sounds: Use soft music or turn on the TV to
help mask the sound of fireworks. Cats often find comfort in
familiar noises, which can help ease their anxiety.

5️⃣ Provide Hiding Spots: Cats love to hide! Leave boxes or
tunnels around for your cat to explore and retreat to when they feel scared. These spaces can make them feel safer.

Cat + Christmas Tree = Festive Scratching Post 🐈🎄

… Not even Santa can resist! 🤣🎅🏻

You’ve heard of the “Twelve Days of Christmas”… now we present the “Twelve Dangers of Christmas”. 😬‼️

Did you guess right? Let us know in the comments if you did! 💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉 Are you thinking of becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse? Our nurses go through extensive training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse and you can too! There are two different pathways an individual can take to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse, which is either the apprenticeship route or the degree route - and each course has to be accredited by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS). Both pathways will provide you with on the job training as well as the theory behind it all, and you will be expected to complete a progress log to show that you are competent at particular skills before you can be signed off and registered as a Veterinary Nurse. You will also be expected to have a set number of hours completed for your theory (in college/university) and also for your practical (on the job training). Work experience is crucial if you are wanting to progress in this career. The more experience you gain working with animals, the better! As most pathways will want you to have a reasonable amount of work experience hours behind you prior to applying for the course. Becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse is a challenging but extremely rewarding career choice. It isn’t cuddling puppies or kittens all day, although it is definitely one of the perks! If this is a career path that you are interested in, more information can be found on the link below: https://animalowners.rcvs.org.uk/veterinary-careers/i-want-to-be-a-veterinary-nurse/ #VNAM #VeterinaryNursingAwarenessMonth

Did you guess right? Let us know in the comments if you did! 💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉💚💉 Under schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act, registered Veterinary Nurses are allowed to carry out minor surgeries such as: 💉 Minor stitch ups / suture wounds 💉 Lumpectomies (as long as they don’t enter a body cavity) 💉 Minor tail amputations 💉 Dental scale & polish 💉 Lance, flush and clean abscesses And many more… #VNAM #VeterinaryNursingAwarenessMonth
